Bird Cage FAQs

Do the dimensions stated in the bird cage listings include seed guards?

The listed cage dimensions do not include the dimensions for the seed catchers. In general figure an additional 10 inches side-to-side and front-to-back. Using the seed catchers is optional, we don’t suggest using them, they are just another thing to wash and the birds do manage to toss things beyond the seed catchers anyway.

Questions Regarding a Bird Cage for a Solomon Island Eclectus Parrot

1) I’m assuming that a 32″ wide cage is sufficient. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

 Yes, you are correct a 32-inch wide cage is sufficient. That said we believe there is a general misunderstanding of cage sizes in terms of the content found on the Internet. The size cage that a bird needs is really more dependent upon lifestyle both yours and the birds.

Seeking Bird Cage for Handicap African Grey Parrot

Do you know of anyone who makes cages for disabled birds? I’m looking for something probably made of plexiglass for a Congo. He/she is about 7 weeks old. Has a bad right leg. He is standing on his left & seems like he will perch.

I’m going to be moving him into a plastic bucket that I can make perches for. If he learns to perch, I’ll be looking for a cage. It was an option to have the leg removed. I hate to have the leg removed if I don’t have to. It would get caught in any cage bars of the birdcages on the market. (more…)

Please Help Me Select a Bird Safe Travel Carrier

Hi Catherine. Oh goodness, no, I won’t confront that particular seller, I don’t want to cause any problems or hard feelings, just trying to find the best for the bird of my dreams. Ha, ha, that’s funny about the California cages!

I have a giant stainless steel cage in OK where we live. My husband has Celiac disease, his father has Lupus, and my daughter has Autism so I am hyperconscious about chemicals and allergens. Thank you so much for all the super useful information Catherine, I appreciate all your help! Take care
